BIG Moments!

Lathan had his first haircut even though I hated to cut those beautiful baby curls. We had a wonderful stylist (Auntie L) who did a great job! Lathan sat very still...I expected to really have a struggle with him to sit still. I think he was entranced by everthing. Afterwards, I took the boys to the mall with me and made a quick stop in Victoria's secret. Apparently, a haircut means you're all grown up....as I was shopping, the little stink opened one of the drawers, pulled out a pair of green panties and was waving them around for everyone to see!!! I only saw his discovery after I heard people giggling and watching him. To say the least, I was embarrased and am not sure if I need to be returning to that store with my boys.

I also posted a picture of Ethan's amazed look of his new haircut. I bet all stylists wish they had such animated clients when looking at the end result! Ok..for Ethan's growing moment: This past Sunday he decided to sing with us during service. I thought it was so sweet until I heard what he was singing...."Max, Max, Max." For those of you who do not know- Max & Ruby is Ethan's favorite cartoon. He has even said he wants the next baby (if there is one) to be called Max. Not sure if that will fly. For now we'll just listen to his his sweet singing in church!

The Real Cowboy

This past week we took Ethan to the rodeo. He was completely in heaven! We decided to leave Lathan at home and spend some one-on-one time with Ethan. Auntie L came with us and we all had a blast together.
Ethan had many firsts...on a bull, roller coaster ride AND roller coaster by himself (which he loved), and ferris wheel. I'm telling you-this child is not afraid of anything. I'm just so thankful we got to spend that wonderful day with him.
I'm going to try to post some videos of our day later on. Enjoy!


MY BOYS!!

He finally said it!

Lathan has finally started to say mama (of course, I've done a little bit of encouraging!)

OUR LITTLE HOOVER

Lathan's favorite pastime is eating, and I mean anything! He eats almost everything I put in front of him, as well as things I don't put in front of him. So far, we can account for 1/2 a rubber bouncy ball, a partial page from Ethan's book (we found this in the diaper...no details needed), and mostly the scraps in the kitchen (who says you need a dog?).





I saved the best for last! His crib looks like a beaver attacked it! I guess we should add wood to the list.



Now, who wouldn't love a face like that!

A Few Days with Daddy II

We took the boys to the park to play!

A Few Days with Daddy

Nate has enjoyed spending his weekend off with his boys.


I guess we pooped him out!


Daddy playing with LJ's hair after a bath...he could really scare someone if I let him out like that!

Here is the evening he came home from work:

Big Steps

Well, it's official....Lathan has taken his first steps! He walked between Nate and myself yesterday. We all clapped, including Lathan, who seemed to be more excited than any of us!
He hasn't been practicing much since then because his brother decided to share the flu with him. How sweet :) Hopefully we are on the tail end now!
